Here are some other weapons and items that'll give you the edge in Counter-Strike. 
FN M249 Para
Retail name: ES M249 Para Caliber: 5.56mm Price: $5,750 Clip capacity: 100 Description: The biggest and most expensive gun in Counter-Strike, the Para is the weapon most feared by veterans of the game. It can carry a whopping 100 rounds per clip, which it spews forth at an incredible rate. And while its inaccurate, its primary role is for throwing up a wall of lead, not sniping. Recommended use: The Para might be appealing to use, but it's a difficult gun to master. Its heavy weight means that your mobility will be severely impeded. The gun's inaccuracy means that you'll also have a difficult time trying to hit enemies at a distance or who are constantly moving. However, for defending a single doorway or location, there is no better weapon to use than the Para. Additionally, for maps like 747 and Assault, the Para can penetrate entire structures and rain a torrent of ammo onto an unsuspecting team. Don't worry about ammo, either. With 100 rounds per clip, you can hold down the trigger for nearly 10 seconds before having to reload. 
Flashbang Grenade
Price: $200 Description: The flashbang grenade explodes in a bright visual concussion that temporarily blinds anyone within its vicinity, including your own teammates. The farther away you are from its area of effect, the faster your vision will return. The flashbang is meant to disorient enemies long enough for the opposing team to move in and take advantage of the state of confusion. If you see such a grenade being thrown in your direction, look away as fast as possible. Then, be prepared to face rushing enemies. When using a flashbang, you should throw it into a concentrated area of enemies, then immediately follow it with an attack. It takes a leap of faith to jump into a group of enemies, but it will be temporarily blinded, so act quickly. You can carry two flashbangs at any given time. 
Smoke Grenade
Price: $300 Description: While both teams are able to buy the smoke grenade, it's best suited to the counter-terrorists. This grenade releases large puffs of smoke that obscure everyone's visibility, so they should be used wisely. It's very easy to obscure the view of a few of your own teammates, thus causing more harm than good. The smoke grenade should be used when your team is pinned down by enemy fire to provide cover for escape. You can only carry one smoke grenade at a time. 
High-Explosive Grenade
Price: $300 Description: These grenades have about a 2.5-second fuse delay before exploding in a powerful ball of flame that can inflict up to 75 hit points. You can't hurt your own teammates with a high-explosive grenade, but you can cause damage to yourself, so caution should be taken when throwing it. Grenades have a tendency to bounce sharply off walls, but you can use this to your advantage by banking the throws into otherwise hard-to-reach areas. The grenade should be used at an incoming group of attackers to soften them up and spread them out. Kevlar Vest Price: $650 Description: Kevlar vests offer protection against all attacks below the neck. However, even though they absorb a significant amount of damage, your own health will still decrease, albeit at a lesser rate, when attacked while wearing a vest. The vest will usually let you survive more firefights than you normally can, so if you have the money, make sure to buy one at the start of every round. Kevlar Vest and Helmet Price: $1,000 Description: This option adds a Kevlar helmet to the standard vest. The helmet lets you take more damage to the head than you normally can. Generally, however, unless you're hit from pistol fire, a head shot will usually kill you - with or without the helmet. You're better off buying just the vest and pocketing the $350 difference. Night Vision Goggles Price: $1,250 Description: These goggles amplify the amount of light in any given map, making it easier to spot enemies in dark areas. However, at $1,250, its price is a little steep, and your money is better spent elsewhere, especially if you've increased your gamma using PowerStrip, as we mentioned previously. Defuse Kit Price: $200 Description: At only $200, the defuse kit should be bought by every counter-terrorist during bomb defuse situations. It cuts the bomb defuse time from 10 to five seconds, which could mean the difference between a successful mission and a failed one.
